Re: T-Bone's SC1100 vs SC140

I think that the SC1100 does sound better, but for the price the SC140 does a highly creditable job. I agree. Next test will probably be the SC140 closer and the SC1100 further away. Lets see how it works... The SC140 has a two-position low-cut filter I haven't tried yet. I shall play with that also.

Re: T-Bone's SC1100 vs SC140

Yes, if you plot the freq spectrum there's a lot more "noise" in the low freqs. Also the gain on the preamp is slightly higher for the SC140 in order to get about the same sound level on both channels, so that might also increase the noise level. On the next test I'll switch the position of both mics.

Re: USB Turntable with Mac

Have tried latest Audacity, but in Audacity preferences there is still no USB option, confused! Does anyone know where to check settings on the Mac? Does it show in the apple's system preferences as shown in the wiki topic on the second link bill posted? You should start audacity after connecting t...

T-Bone's SC1100 vs SC140

Last year I bought a T-Bone SC1100 large diaphragm mic. Yesterday a got myself a T-Bone SC140 small diaphragm mic. This is the first raw sample of both mics, using an Art USB Dual Pre mic preamp connected by USB to a desktop computer running Debian GNU/Linux and Audacity 1.3.13. SC1100 is set to car...

Re: custom made deadcat for large diaphragm mic

The SC140 as arrived... it comes with a small foam cap. I'll post pics and samples later tomorrow. I'll see if I can try it outside with some wind also. I haven't take any measures, but I'd say it could probably fit in a rode's deadkitten...

Re: Solo fingerstyle guitar effects

I got the SC140 today, but I haven't had the time to take it out of the box yet... I should be doing some tests tomorrow and I'll post some samples later on.

Re: Audacity hangs when loading MP3

You can always make a full backup of your system before upgrading, and if anything goes wrong you just need to restore the backup. I'd like to recommend clonezilla for the backup: http://clonezilla.org/ Clonezilla is a bootable linux cd which has a few utilities for system rescue and backup. You can...
